Right now in Weston there are a lot of homes on the market with not too much movement towards closing. The days on market are going up and the Average List Price to Average Sale Price is dropping to 90%.While the market is slow and trending slow there have been sales and there are listing under agreement. To be successful with the sale of your home you need to be working with a solid marketing plan to get your listing in front of the right people.

437 South, Weston, MA 02493
Value homes in Weston, the kind of home you could move right into if you could live with their color and decoration schemes, are rare on the market. The two homes for the one price of $900,000 on one large lot in Weston is rarer still. Both homes have been recently updated with paint. The larger 4 bedroom home was updated with a new kitchen, tile, granite, appliances, a finished basement, painting on the inside and out and professional landscaping.
These homes are a compound like of their own. Old growth trees and landscaping allow the … (2 comments)

4 Hemlock Rd Wayland MA 01778 kitchen
The Dudley Pond Community in Wayland is special in many ways. The most obvious is that all these special people live around a wonderful and beautiful pond. Homes hug the walls and cliffs and sit over the pond as you circle. You will see people out walking the dog, jogging down the hill, boating or kayaking, fishing and sunning. This all happens mostly in the spring, summer and fall, the winter is a different time. People still walk their dogs, the joggers are still out, but the smell of the wood burning stoves … (6 comments)

23 Cedar Avenue, Randolph, MA living room All buyers are out in the market looking for a deal. Fact is, you can’t swing a cat over your head without hitting one. Deals are everywhere in this market with the interest rates being low and staying low. Foreclosures were at one point all the rage with buyers feeling as though if they got a house from a bank that didn’t want the house that they would have the best possible deal. As you know, this just isn’t so. Many foreclosures are very distressed property and made even worse if the bank did … (1 comments)

ma: Listening and Learning
- 08/09/11 05:57 AM
Absolutely every buyer and seller has a story, some underlying reason for their behavior and actions. Buyers have a bull’s eye they are looking for, and Sellers have price point; all any broker needs to do is listen and learn. Ask a buyer to describe their favorite home. They will tell you a story about sitting around a big dining room floor, or a tire swing in the back yard. The associate fond memories to those spots, listen to this. Look to deliver to them just such a home.
A seller bought their home for a reason, why, you should ask? … (3 comments)

ma: What Seasoned Agents have taught me
- 07/02/11 02:03 AM
I have had the privilege from learning the real estate business around some agents and brokers who have spent their lives in the profession. I have watched them work their prospects and their clients and deals. I have seen them handle telephone calls and emails and I have learned so much. To be honest I have learned so much of what not to do. What they are doing may have worked in the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s or 90′s but does not work now and never will again. The business is different, the agent does not hold all the cards because information … (49 comments)

ma: What do you want? A real estate story.
- 06/24/11 02:00 AM
Do you know what you want? Can you be clear to someone else what it is you want? How do you define that? In terms of real estate it starts in your mind. Are you thinking of the rooms and amenities, or are you thinking of the location and accessibility? Price is always a consideration, but how you define price can differ. One of the truisms of real estate is that you live with the payment, you don’t live with the price. What this means is that you live with what you have to pay each month and it is that … (2 comments)

5 Whiting Avenue Dedham MA 02026
This is the May 2011 housing report, Dedham, MA 02026 Single Family Housing Market Report May 2011. As with the surrounding towns Dedham had a whole lot more property come on the market. This gives the buyers more choice and can compare more specifically. It can push down the price, it also may not. Remember the buyer determines the price they are willing to offer. I like the average time on market for sold homes to be going down while the other DOM (Days on Market) statistics are staying high. Not that a high number … (0 comments)

17 Rockwood Road, Natick, MA 02176
Natick, MA 01760 Single Family Housing Market Report May 2011 reports activity of 170 homes. While this isn’t quite as much activity as there is in the surrounding communities, the level is a good level of activity for this Spring. With all the negative media surrounding the economy and the housing market it is hard for the real message to get through. There has not been a time so good to buy and sell real estate as there is right now. It is true the lending part is a bit more difficult, but the industry … (1 comments)

Certified HAFA Specialist
As we continue to stumble through the lowest interest rates since the 1970′s due to the meltdown of our banking system and their practice of marketing mortgage backed securities several years ago we don’t want to miss the opportunities that exist right now. Let’s put this in perspective. Since 9172 the average interest rate has been 8.92%. Right now you can get quoted an interest rate below 3% for some products. That is less than half of what the interest rates have been on average. It is true that you don’t live with the “price” of a home … (3 comments)

ma: For Sale by Owners Manual-Making the Decision
- 02/02/11 12:01 AM
Selling your home is a process that has a multitude of details, that when taken care if in proper order will net you more money in less time. That is the simple truth. It is also true that anyone, by law, can undertake this process by and for themselves. The quick and obvious reason to do this is because you don’t have to pay a professional for help. That act on it’s face puts money in your pocket. You can also do your own taxes, write your own will, and diagnose your own illnesses using on-line tools. You got that going … (4 comments)
